This year's collective bargaining conference will take place in Brussels on 3-4 December and will provide an important opportunity for EPSU's collective bargaining contacts to debate the future of industrial relations in the public services. This key discussion will take place on the second day of the conference and will focus on what is possible to achieve in social dialogue and collective bargaining at a European level in the public services.

Further details of the conference will be sent out to all affiliates shortly and will be added to the EPSU website.
